We'll re-write the equations, keeping the variables x and
y to the left side:
x + y = 14
(1)
4x - y = 11 (2)
We'll
solve the system using substitution:
x = 14 - y
(3)
We'll replace x in the 2nd equation by the expression
from (3):
4(14 - y) - y =
11
We'll remove the
brackets:
56 - 4y - y = 11
-5y
= 11 - 56
-5y = -45
We'll
divide by -5:
y = 9
We'll
substitute y in (3):
x = 14 -
9
x = 5
The
solution of the system is the pair: (5 ; 9).
